Jesus… forced to work in the circus from age 4 in 1950 until her death in 1989. Poor thing. Just put through decades of hell.
We’ve done elephants dirty.
For such intelligent and capable creatures, we’ve probably treated them some of the worst.

I think in the city where everything happened she is still kinda famous and even some diary-brand is named like her. Also heard she has a statue somewhere in Wuppertal.
It’s in Wuppertal Barmen near the city hall of that district. https://maps.app.goo.gl/1uDiCJTWxYUEWmmz7
There’s also a gifted sculpture inside of the Wupper. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9rv8gSN3tNjRkocE7
And a German article about the whole event, including old photographs (the one depicting the fall is a montage I believe): https://www.spiegel.de/geschichte/wuppertal-zirkus-elefant-tuffi-in-der-schwebebahn-a-1103841.html
